What shoppers say again and again
“The lady that was clearly the manager did not even acknowledge that I was asking for a fitting room.”
“Great clothes at a great price.”
From the reviews
The lady that was clearly the manager did not even acknowledge that I was asking for a fitting room. She side eyed me and continued her conversation. Nice selection but the other workers in the front were nice.
Ashlen! That's it. That's the review. If every sales rep in every store was like her, the world would be a better place. Give that woman a raise, employee of the month, whatever. She deserves every accolade! Really, such a fun shopping trip, went in for one thing and left with a full bag (for a reasonable amount).
I have been there 3 times and they constantly are getting new arrivals. I really like the selection of clothes. I like some of the shoes too. They also sell little girls clothes too.
As with a lot of the stores it was a bit crowded. However the staff were friendly, the store had a great selection as for sizes. If I was in the area I would frequent here often.
Plus size bridal & formal at Rainbow Shops
Rainbow Shops comes up for plus size bridal and formal wear — confirmed on their own site. Two things to know before the trip. First, bridal shopping is usually by appointment — book ahead, and when you call, ask what size range their try-on samples come in. A shop can order almost any gown in your size, but the sample sizes on the floor decide whether you actually get to see yourself in the dress, and the good plus bridal shops stock samples to try, not just to imagine. Second, plan the alterations timeline: gowns and formal dresses typically go through two or three fittings, so the comfortable window is starting your search around 8–10 months before the date and saying yes to a gown by 6.
